I think this is for the better (ie. him not being stuck). Even though he's been showing good results in team leagues lately, he had grown old and didn't show good enough individually.

I remember two series of his:
MLG: Against Boxer - great games.
NASL against SaSe(I think) - he played poorly and was not interested in playing TvP, so he cheesed all games with proxyraxes and bunkerrush. Really poor showing.

Bye Rain

On the bright side, it's less confusing having only one Rain

The first ever Korean pro to join a foreign team. Best of luck to him.

And so ends the tale of the first notable Korean to transfer to a foreign team.

Probably for the best, although still very sad to see him go

Its probably better for him. I think we might see more retirements in the near future. There is too many players and too little money.

Didn't Oz beat him by a few days? Sad to see someone retire but to be fair, he hasn't really done anything notably after getting 2nd in GSL in 2010, which most people know he achieved by using...interesting strats :p Too bad rain, good luck with whatever you might do after this.

It's sad to see him go because his playstyle did help define the good ol' early days of the GSL.

I still miss those days. Jinro, IdrA, Rain...all together in the GSL...
